Wow, looking at this has made me realize that, although the Disney princesses are kind of sad, the princes are even worse. Which two dimensional (literally and figuratively), boring plot device do you want to be? I picked the Beast, who seems to have more of a plot arc. Aladdin is also not bad in that respect.
i don't remember many of them, except for the beast and alladin. i know i'm going to destroy my reputation now, but i'll confess i only picked the prince from sleeping beauty because of anne rice's book.
After deconstructing Disney characters in an essay for a communication class, I really can't think of the Beast as a potential anything, he is one messed up version of an abusive partner. The whole keeping Belle prisoner, being nasty and physically abusive then saving her and apologizing - the classic push and pull to control cycle. Although I don't fully adhere to the paranoia that Disney is purposely brainwashing our youth, it's hard to avoid the "if I'm nice enough and loving enough and stay with him, this abusive monster will one day become my prince charming" message.

Thank you! I've always liked and wanted to be Prince Philip since I was a kid!

dies after the internet kills her for putting up so many disney questions
halfasianpotato: lol
I wanna be Captain Hook. Or Firefly. Or Peter Pan.
I picked the Beast.
How boring would the others be in the sack? (ok, now I'm going to be killed by the internet!)
no, I honestly think that is the best comment I've even seen on this site...
vexed: being lupine, picking the Beast is just boring for me ;).
OMG, halfasianpotato - that's so flattering (blushing) Merci!
Snow White's prince turns up at the end at takes all the credit. Brilliant strategy.
